After purchasing a settlement in the idyllic village of Pasieki on the edge of the Białowieża Forest, where there was a wooden and brick ruin, we thought for a long time about what kind of house we should build here. In order not to make reckless decisions and at the same time be able to live in this magical place, we imported a circus wagon from Germany. We were so enchanted by living there that the number of cars increased to three, and the house design matured in peace and quiet. It paid off: the carriages became an extraordinary attraction, and our beloved HOUSE, which we also make available to guests, wins hearts.
A magical farm was created in Apiary: a blue Podlasie house, romantic circus wagons, an old orchard, a garden that becomes more beautiful every year, a swimming pool, and a children's house. And above all, the Forest and its inhabitants: there is no better place for a rut (you can hear the deer even in the bedroom of the house, and in the carts you have the impression that they are roaring right outside the door). Mushroom pickers will have a paradise here, and bird lovers can observe from the terrace (lesser spotted eagle, cranes, hoopoe, corncrake visit us). In spring you will experience unforgettable night bird and frog concerts here, while the lazy summer will take you captive to scents, colors and beautiful nights with the milky way. And winter, with the stars at your fingertips, a fire in the fireplace and walks in the forest, will leave you longing...
Our habitat has an area of approximately 1.3 ha, in the part closer to the forest, behind a hedge and an orchard, there are three circus wagons.
Living in a car is an extraordinary thing: you live more outdoors than at home, without sacrificing the comforts of home. For children and everyone who nurtures a child within themselves, moving into the circus world will always be an unforgettable adventure. Each car has a bathroom/toilet, a well-equipped kitchen, a fireplace, mosquito nets in the windows and its own terrace. The carriages also have bookcases, board games, goats, deckchairs, tables on the terraces, and bed linen and towels are included in the price.
The KARANDASH wagon served circus artists in the GDR and is named after a Russian clown. Now he no longer travels around the world, but he still retains something of the atmosphere of "gypsy" life, which is worth surrendering to the sounds of music flowing from the old adapter. It is perfect for a holiday for two, it has 1 bedroom with a double bed.
The GROCK wagon, named after a Swiss clown, served as a home for the director of a circus in Alsace. The car has one bedroom and a living room (a double bed in the bedroom, a double fold-out sofa in the living room, and a sofa).
The third cart is the CRANE - it is so called because it is located closest to the Forest and the cranes' clangor resounds right next to it. It is the largest of the cars, with two bedrooms (one with a double bed, the other with a bunk bed), so it is perfect for a family with two children.
Apart from the circus wagons, there is also our house in the settlement. Everyone can easily find a quiet corner here, because we don't complain about the lack of space. Guests of the House and Carts can meet around the bonfire, in the swimming pool or in the Children's House.
The house and the wagons have well-equipped kitchens - we like to cook ourselves and our stays in Apiary are always a culinary experience, so you will find everything you need for cooking together. In the garden, there are herbs, berries, and apples in indecent quantities waiting for you - you can use everything! The forests are full of mushrooms and berries, and dinners by the fire remain long memories.
During trips to Białowieża or Narewka, you can also eat in restaurants.
We can also recommend catering.
You simply can't get bored here! Go to the Forest, on foot or by bike - it is different every season of the year, wild and mysterious, rewarding the persistent with unexpected encounters... Remember: the Forest is a phenomenon on a global scale, only our natural heritage of humanity on the UNESCO list. You will not find such biodiversity anywhere! Bisons, deer, wild boars, wolves visit our meadows, ornithological observations can be conducted from the terrace :-) We will recommend great guides, masters of guiding also in the strict reserve. The Narewka River in the Forest can be discovered from a kayak. Do not forget that Podlasie has traditionally been multicultural - go in search of the Jewish Narewka, listen to Orthodox songs, look into the mosque in Kruszyniany. Or indulge in laziness in the garden... From mid-June to the end of August - the swimming pool awaits you! From September to October and from April to mid-June: we invite you on Thursdays for a free banya (sauna) :-) And if you come during this period for at least a week, in addition to the banya, you will receive a free hot barrel for two evenings.
What’s there for children?
Kids are welcome! There is a swimming pool (open July-August), a mysterious Children's House, a sandbox, a swing, board games and books to read together. There is a lot of space, a beautiful meadow, expeditions in the forest and animal viewing for the adventurous!
What’s there for employees?
We don't have internet in circus cars, so don't expect to work remotely. We invite you to relax and detox from the virtual world :-)
